crossword help

Hey, could someone look at this code and tell me what is wrong with this. Im not getting any error while compiling nor is the program giving any output.

There is a puzzle with words hiddn in the puzzle. Besides the words there are just '+'. the C code has to pull words out of the crossword and compare it with a word list to see if the word is present in the list. if present it has to give its coordinates. Also, if the word is present in the reverse direction in the puzzle, the coordinates will be neative.

The way I see it, the compiler doesnt proceed after readingfrom the external word list file and copying its contents into the array of structures. I could print the contents of the structures if I put a print command. But nothing happens after that.

Its difficult to format (indent tabs, etc) the code in this Forum, its displays in a different format when I post a codee.
